Abstract
A method of treating or preventing tinea corporis, commonly known as ringworm of the skin, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to tinea corporis, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.
Claims49
A method of treating or preventing tinea corporis, comprising:
- a) applying an adhesive composition comprising a polymerizable monomer to an area of skin that is afflicted with or susceptible to tinea corporis;
- and
- b) allowing said polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over said area of skin,
- wherein said polymerizable monomer composition comprises an α-cyanoacrylate monomer.
A method of treating or preventing tinea corporis, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. applying at least one of an anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive to an area of skin that is afflicted with or susceptible to tinea corporis;
- b. applying a polymerizable monomer composition to said area of skin over the at least one applied anti-fungal agent or skin care additive, wherein said composition comprises an α-cyanoacrylate monomer;
- and
- c. allowing said polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over said area of skin and said at least one anti-fungal agent or skin care additive.
A method of treating or preventing tinea corporis, the method comprising:
- a. combining a polymerizable monomer composition and at least one of an anti-fungal agent or skin care additive to form a mixture;
- b. applying said mixture to an area of skin that is afflicted with or susceptible to tinea corporis;
- and
- c. allowing said mixture to polymerize to form at least one of an anti-fungal containing polymer film or a skin care additive containing polymer film over said area of skin,
- wherein said polymerizable monomer composition comprises an α-cyanoacrylate monomer.
